14th year house bound

14th year house bound

Hi Everyone,

I am new hear, after being removed from other mental health forums for my depressive thoughts i thought i would give this forum a try, this is my story.

I am 33 live with my mother, i am almost compeatly housebound, i leave my house once in the morning for a walk at 6am and maybe once during the week, both times i leave the house fill me with great anxiety, i have no friends, (the last friend i had was in 2001), i have never had a job, never had a girlfriend and never been able to leave my parents side, my father died in 2001 and i have always suffered seperation anxiety the last time i had a night away from home was 1994 for one night (parents had to pick me up at midnight because i was so frantic).

I have spent most of the past 14 years in my room, or the shed, never much out of the yard, no one in my town knows me, people stare and ask each other behind my back if any one knows who i am.

I have only had an income for the past year and spend the previous 7 with no income at all, mum had to use all of her life savings to allow me to live with her and she now has nothing.

I only want to live long enough to care for her in her old age and then i plan to take my own life, i knew from an early age my life would turn out like this, but had no idea how horrible it would be, every day is the same, i often wonder why i keep going, i have very little contact with family (maybe once a year) and i am really struggling to keep going.

Please don't feel distressed about what i am saying, and i am so sorry if i have offended anyone, it is just how i feel.

Their is so much more, but i will leave it at that for the moment, i am shaking and the anxiety is kicking in so thankyou for reading and i will add more later.

Jacques

not one burning yet @hiddenite, I got some logs, they need some chopping though. Anyone want to chops these, @PeppiPatty?? Can you wood chop? Can you knit us all a rug, like a community rug for everyone?

Re: Hope someone has a fire burning I'm freezing

Such wonderful imaginations that we all have !

Its amazing ... my son has actually just turned on the heater ... for about 6 years we havent been allowed to have it on cos he was always overheating ... now he feels hot and cold naturally ... he was so stubborn he would go out in middle of winter in t shirt ... he even put on a windcheater too.

Love the idea of a community rug ... it is one of positive things I always remember about the orphanages ... the knitting girls ... natter natter ... sorry @Jacques we love you too.

@Appleblossom @PeppiPatty @hiddenite and @Jacques and anyone else viewing this, what colours would you like the rug to be?

Ok, I've started chopping the wood, now I'm gathering some kindling.
